For this month's entry I decided to bite the bullet and actually get a substantial number of troopers done in earnest. I just love skellies. I don't know why but they are simple to paint if unarmored and the old Citadel ones are some of the best. But this little lot is a whole hotch potch.
I don't know where the clumsier sculpts are from. They are preslotta - I suspect they're Ral Partha. There's a citadel one on the end from the C18 range. The grave guard and drummer are pure Middlehammer Citadel while the guys at the back are actually Foundry (under the alias Casting Room miniatures) and so quite modern but with a definite old school vibe about them.
Here's a close up of the back row in case you want a closer look.
I really like these sculpts and so I think I'll get more of them. I love that they have sculpted expressions on what (should be) static skulls.
This lot come to 130 points. However I overcompensated in month 1 by painting 172 points so with the grand total so far of 452 points I am somehow still on target.
So what's next for December? Well there will probably be more boney offerings but of quite a different ilk... Stay tuned for more on that.
Nice work bud - eyed up those Foundry skellies a few times myself. Got some of their emaciated plague victims (think that's what they were called) to join the ranks of my Zombies back in October.
ReplyDeleteThey're nice models and they paint up beautifully :)
